If the software doesn't support such a simple feature, then you just may be better off not even running it. The list members will undoubtedly be thankful; your family just may not disown you anymore; and best of all, you will prevent yourself from looking like a complete moron and/or being hogtied with solid-core Cat5 and thrown into a large bin full of sharp, pointy, and rusty old motherboards. Thank you. -- Cheers, Kameron Gasso PGP key @ http://blort.org/~kgasso/pgpkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
